Why Are Lipids and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) So Essential For Good Health?
Most of us are aware that oil is a necessary “part” of any car’s engine, without which it could not function. Just as a car needs the essential “part” of oil to protect the engine while running, so does our body need Lipids to run efficiently. The family of Lipids (or fats) and Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are all interrelated, often functioning and acting as if they were one mechanism, one “part” of the body. And like oil is to a car’s engine, Lipids and EFAs are essential biological substances of our body, without which we could not live or function.
